PUBLIC:

As the CEO of a former Fidelity Ventures portfolio company (we recently sold to a public company) I have only good things to say about the entire Fidelity team. We worked primarily with Larry Cheng on the ventures team, and bought a valuable perspective to the Board. What really separated Fidelity for us was their ability to draw upon the entire Fidelity cadre of resources to help our organization. For example we were able to get unique assistance from the FMR technology team on best practices for replication of data across multiple hosted environments. That is not the kind of input you typically get from a VC, yet Fidelity is able to tap into that very deep and large organization, and actually get you the help you need.
